The program of Women’s Studies welcomes students who want to further their understanding of the importance of gender and how it intersects with other analytical categories such as race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, ability and age.  The department’s interdisciplinary degree programs and faculty assist students in examining how these intersecting categories have been used to create social inequalities and how these inequalities have been, and are being, challenged.  We offer a broad range of subjects in the social sciences, humanities, and health and behavioural sciences so that students can critically assess the extent to which past, current and emerging models of knowledge reflect the diversity of women’s experiences and scholarship.
